One of my loyal readers sent me several GIFs of this stud in black trunks in a painful Chinlock applied by a bearded dude in red tights. He asked me if I could identify these wrestlers.

The suffering hunk certainly looked familiar. I recall verbally drooling over him several years ago on my WordPress blog when his gay nemesis developed a crush on him. Their homo-erotic feud involved a lot of leering, groping, and swapping of clothes.

I found my old articles from 2017 to remember the dude's name:

So who is Adrian's opponent in the red tights, applying the hold?

I noticed the name "Rogers" written on his kneepads and across his ass. So I googled: "Adrian Matthews vs. Rogers," and found a match with Adrian wrestling a dude named "Bruce" Rogers (same ring, same two opponents, different tights on Rogers.)

So I sent my reader the names of the two wrestlers, he was easily able to locate the exact video where Rogers wore red tights and forced Matthews to tap out in the Chinlock:

Not all heroes wear capes.
